John 14:6

Dr. Steve McSwain Therefore, I now know that when Jesus said, I am the way, the truth...no one comes to the Father but by me, he was not saying, as Christian history has mistakenly thought, There is no other way to God but by me. He was simply saying instead, The way I live is the way to know God--it's also the way to live happily in this world. If you want to know God, follow my way...emulate how I live, how I think, the way I treat myself, others, and the world."

Other texts say the same... "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12)."Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). "He who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him" (John 3:36)."He who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him" (John 3:36).

Other texts say the same... "For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5)."For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5). "And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life" (1 John 5:11- 12)"And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life" (1 John 5:11- 12)
